# §122.27. Documents required.

- (a) **Crewmembers and passengers.** Crewmembers and passengers on a private aircraft arriving in the U.S. shall make baggage declarations as set forth in [part 148](/cfr/19/part148.md) of this chapter. An oral declaration of articles acquired in foreign areas shall be made, unless a written declaration on Customs Form 6059-B is found necessary by inspecting officers.
- (b) **Cargo.**
  - (1) On arrival, cargo and unaccompanied baggage not carried for hire aboard a private aircraft may be listed on a baggage declaration on Customs Form 6059-B, and shall be entered. If the cargo or unaccompanied baggage is not listed on a baggage declaration, it shall be entered in the same manner as cargo carried for hire into the U.S.
  - (2) On departure, when a private aircraft leaves the U.S. carrying cargo not for hire, the Bureau of Census ([15 CFR part 30](/cfr/15/part30.md)) and the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR parts [730](/cfr/15/part730.md) through [774](/cfr/15/part774.md)) and any other applicable export laws shall be followed. A foreign landing certificate or certified copy of a foreign Customs entry is required as proof of exportation if the cargo includes:
    - (i) Merchandise valued at more than $500.00; or
    - (ii) More than one case of alcoholic beverages withdrawn from a Customs bonded warehouse or otherwise in bond for direct exportation by private aircraft.
- (c) **Pilot certificate/license, certificate of registration—**
  - (1) **Pilot certificate/license.** A commander of a private aircraft arriving in the U.S. must present for inspection a valid pilot certificate/license, medical certificate, authorization, or license held by that person, when presentation for inspection is requested by a Customs officer.
  - (2) **Certificate of registration.** A valid certificate of registration for private aircraft which are U.S.-registered must also be presented upon arrival in the U.S., when presentation for inspection is requested by a Customs officer. A so-called “pink slip” is a duplicate copy of the Aircraft Registration Application (FAA Form AC 8050-1), and does not constitute a valid certificate of registration authorizing travel internationally.
